Transversality between invariant manifolds of periodic orbits for a class of monotone dynamical systems

We consider a special class of monotone dynamical systems and show that in this special class the stable and unstable manifolds of two hyperbolic periodic orbits always intersect transversally. The proof is based on the existence of a family of positively invariant nested cones.
